U-boat Models

List of available U-boat models

Here below is a fairly complete listing of available U-boat models. We've tried to list as much info on each model as possible, including where to get it. Some European producers (such as Graupner, Krick (Typ 1A) and perhaps the most well-known, Schaffer). do not have models listed here and if you could provide such information I'd love to have it.
